Default Maserati Quattroporte Wheels on a 99' UCF20

I picked up some 2006 Maserati Quattroporte Wheels tonight since I did some research and they also have a 5x114 bolt pattern. They come in a 19x8.5 +50 Front and 19x10.5 +52 Rear size. I already test fitted the rear and it appears to clear everything (shock absorber, control arms, brake lines, and rear sway bar) in addition to sitting rather perfect with the rear fender. I'm amazed since its 10.5" wide! Now I just need to figure out what size tires to run. I think 245/40/19 Front and 275/35/19 Rear?

The only thing I see being a problem is the thickness of the hub on the wheel. These wheels used lug bolts instead of lug nuts, so I'll have to come up with a way to get extended ARP bolts or something to put in place of the rear hub's stock studs. Also, I got these for VERY cheap, since they have some scuffs and one looks to be repaired professionally, but as a result, needs to be painted. Was a bit scary picking these up tonight in Detroit, but I made it out unscathed lol

No I ended up selling them since the tires would've cost me a ton (285/35/19s in the rear aren't cheap), would've needed extended lugs since the hub center part of the wheel was so thick (standard studs would barely come outside of the wheel) and there was that one oddball wheel missing the finish.

Actually considering doing this again since I found a set of wheels with tires this time and the finish on all the wheels are in good shape.

might have to buy extended studs and new nuts for sure though.

Nevermind, guy backed out and sold it from under me to someone else.
